What to Expect
Your procedure, step by step — how to prepare, what happens on the day, and how to recover.
Our courteous staff will work with you to complete the pre-registration process. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions pertaining to your procedure. It is important to follow these directions in order to avoid cancellation of surgery. Often special labs or tests may be required prior to the procedure. Additionally, your surgeon may request you receive anesthesia services for safety and comfort. In these cases a specialized anesthesia plan will be presented to you by your designated provider. You will be asked to refrain from eating or drinking prior to surgery (this includes candy, gum, chewing tobacco or water). Please adhere to these instructions carefully. We value patient satisfaction, and our team will ensure a smooth and informed journey.
